Fairy Tail Creator Hiro Mashima Launches HERO’S Manga Combining All Creations In One Universe!
Fairy Tale creator Hiro Mashima fulfilled his promise that all of his world’s would unite in a single universe with the release of HERO’S in October’s Weekly Shonen Magazine that celebrates the magazine’s 60th anniversary.
Back in September Mashima announced HERO’S as a brand new serialization that would run alongside Edens Zero.
According to a translation from Crunchyroll, Mashima wrote:
“I was told, ‘Please do something for Magazine’s 60th anniversary, Mashima-san.’ So I will launch another new serialization from October. I will work on one more weekly serialization work simultaneously with EDENS ZERO. It is going to be a short series, but two weekly serializations! I will do my best!”
マガジン創刊60周年という事で、真島さんもなんかやってくださいよー。と言われたので、10月からもう一本「新連載」を始めます。エデンズゼロ と並行して週刊連載をもう一本やる事になりました。短期連載になりますが週刊2本！頑張ります！

He would then reveal this new serialization would be titled HERO’S and would combine the worlds of Fairy Tail, Rave, and Edens Zero.
